If you have ever tried to explain away a “night-out” to an intractable wife you’ll know how George felt when a beautiful blonde vamp, and a £I.OOO necklace were added to the list of things needing explanations Returning m the early hours George encounters an irate Angela io whom he explains he spent the night with Cyril Merryweather, a sculptor and next-door neighbour. but Hie necklace which he had pocketed for safety the night before is not so easily explained. He presents it to his wife, but on the arrival of the vamp, whom lie introduces as Merryweather’s “wife.” he learns the necklace is tli€‘ property of a Rajah and had only been lent her by the boy friend. The hilarious efforts, of George to get hack the necklace from his wife without giving the game away provide endless amusement and the complications which, set in thick and fa.st- add considerably to the laughter propensities with which “Let Me Explain Dear” abounds.
